Everett and Laura Faux passed away due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, Laura on August 10, with Everett following on August 12, 2013.
Laura Lynn was born on June 27, 1951, in Des Moines, to Willis and Fayrene Ellenwood. Everett Eugene was born on November 20, 1950, also in Des Moines, to Loyed and Violet Faux. They graduated from East High School Class of ‘69 as sweethearts and were married soon after. Everett worked most of his life in the fire sprinkler trade. They traveled all over the United States for Everett’s job. Laura worked in banking and insurance. They settled back in Des Moines in 1992 to be closer to family. Everett and Laura enjoyed traveling and cruises and loved being with their friends and family. Their most recent passion was riding their Harley throughout the beautiful countryside. They were loved by so many. They were never apart and now they will watch over all of us together.

Don and Brenda, We were sooooo shocked when I heard and I feel for you two. We will be there. I think it goes without saying that Everett and I were friends. We did a lot of stuff together all through high school and later.
We will miss them. Wanda and I are praying for you two.
